Deep Zionism
scottaaronson.blog
Suppose a man has already murdered most of your family, including several of your children, for no other reason than that he believes your kind doesn’t deserve to exist on earth. The murderer…

It might as well be my own hand on the madman’s lever—and yet, while I grieve for all innocents, my soul is at peace, insofar as it’s ever been at peace about anything.

Psychopath.

    I was not prepared for this level of DARVO. I was already done with him after last time and can’t do better than repeat myself:

    It’s somewhat depressing that [he] cannot even imagine a democratic one-state solution, let alone peace across the region; it’s more depressing that [his] empathy is so blatantly one-sided.

    Even Peter Woit had no problem recognizing Scott’s bile and posted a good take on this:

    Scott formulates this as an abstract moral dilemma, but of course it’s about the very concrete question of what the state of Israel should do about the two million people in Gaza. Scott’s answer to this is clear: they want to kill us and our children, so we have to kill them all, children included. This is completely crazy, as is defining Zionism as this sort of genocidal madness.

      It’s bizarre and pathetic how Scott disabled comments on his blog post but is now using Peter Woit’s blog to carry on a debate with all the people horrified by his views.

        And he’s really showing the unidirectionality of his empathy as well as his persecution complex. E.g., here’s Woit telling Aaronson to get therapy:

        I tried to tell you earlier this year that you should be seeking professional help about this, and things have now gotten much worse.

        And in another comment:

        Seriously: seek professional help for your paranoid delusions/psychological defense mechanisms for justifying murdering Palestinian children on a large scale as part of a genocide/ethnic cleansing campaign.

        And another commenter says,

        I hope Scott gets help, he is clearly insane.

        OK, call it casually ableist, but it’s not wishing death upon the man, or harm to his loved ones. But here’s Aaronson commenting further down the thread:

        In case it wasn’t obvious, I’m not addressing any of my comments here to Peter, or to any of the cowards of his comment section. They’re unworthy of civilized conversation, as they don’t fulfill the basic prerequisites for it, like caring whether their interlocutors and their loved ones live or die.

        Jeshua H. ben Joseph, dude. Get help.
